THE MILITARY SUNDAY.

An Effort to Reduce 1t to q state of Absolute
Quiet.
Washington Special.
Some months ago movement was begun by q
number of ministers, led by an exarmy chap
lain, to induce the authorities who are in charge
of the war machinery of the United States to
observe Sunday little more nearly in accord
ance with the fourth commandment The
proposition was great an innovation that 1t
was at first thought over at great length. and
then rejected as untenabe. Precedent had
made the day principally one of pleasure. to lis
ten a chaplain's sermon was the only somber
feature OF it, but as army chaplains were rarely
with the sermon. Then there was dress parade.
inspection, target-shootina and poker-playing by
officers and privates from the highest to the
lowest. and freer indulgence in grog than on
other days. The army officers, with true military
spirit. protested against any infrinGement OF the
time-honored precedents and the war authorities
decided at last that this sort of Sunday was good
enough for any body engaged in the trade of war.
But the preachers kept pegeing away with the
fourth commandment in one hand and church
influence in the other, and IL now looks
though they have gained their point. It is said
that the board appointed some time ago to revise
the army regulations will report in favor of the
best sort of Sunday obtainable. Nothing wick
eder than the regular inspection and the chap
lans sermon will be retained. Dress parade,
target-shooting and the rest will have to CO. and
a military encampment will. at worst be no
noisier than Sunday school, if the Secretary of
War approves the report of the board of
vision.

COAL FREIGHTS.
After Considering the Question the Railway
Companies Decline TO Make Any Changes.

CLEVELAND. July 15.-An important meeting
of lines interested in Hooking Valley and Pitts
burg coal f slds was held to-day in this city at
the Lake Shore general Office. Some time last
winter an agreement made between these
lines aud lines concerned in the Indiana and Illi-
nois coal fields, fixing the rate from each field to
common distributing points. One OF these points
was Chicago 1t was agreed that the rate
from the Indiana and Illinois fields to Chicago
should be 81: from Hooking Valley. $2 from
Pittsbure. 81 %. The increased cost of coal
delivered at railroad cars in Indiana and Illinois
gave the Hooking Valley lines. it was thought,
sufficient advantage TO permit them to compete
with these Western coal fields, even at double
rates A few weeks ago, however,
the Hooking Valley people reached the
conelusion that the diff-rential against
them on Chicago business great and
q committee appointed TO request the
indiana and Illinois roads to allow Hooking Val
ley to make rate of 81. 70 to Chicago This
committee reported the result of its conference
Mt the meeting to-day. and the Western, lines
declined to allow the Hooking Valley people to
reduce their rate, threatening. il they do so. to
bring down their own rate to 70 cents and thus
preserve the dollar differential between them.
When this report was made at the meeting, the
Hooking Valley representatives concluded 1t was
best to accept the situation, and accordingly
agreed to maintain the present rate OF 81.
